Ahead of its release this Friday via The Circle Music, neoclassical/darkwave veterans Autumn Tears have unveiled their brand new double-album “Guardian of the Pale” in its entirety.
We are very proud indeed that the band chose to partner with SonicAbuse for the UK release, and you can hear the record in full below.
Ted Tringo, Autumn Tears mastermind, said: “Our 2023 double album ‘Guardian of the Pale’ features a fully orchestrated, rich classical ensemble and full choir featuring the most epic, organic and diverse songs to date with our 70+ ensemble of musicians and vocalists.
“Special guests include Francesca Nicoli from Italian neoclassical band Ataraxia, Agnete Mangnes Kirkevaag from Norwegian progressive metal act Madder Mortem and opera singer Ann-Mari Edvardsen Alexis (ex-The 3rd and the Mortal).”
“Guardian of the Pale”, Autumn Tears’ ninth studio album, will be available via The Circle Music on 24 March 2023 as a digital download, 2CD jewel case package and a Limited 2CD digipak, both with a CD exclusive bonus track as well as a limited double vinyl gatefold package with a 16-page illustrated lyric book and vinyl exclusive bonus track. Pre-orders are still available via The Circle Music.
The album cover artwork was completed by award-winning artist Marcela Bolívar. The album was mastered by Peter Bjärgö (Arcana, Sophia).
The band has also previously released music videos to the tracks “As If We Were Never There”, “The Pulse in the Sky” (feat. Francesca Nicoli of Ataraxia), “Of Wind, Water And Sand”, “The Sound of Withering” and “And There Rises From Somewhere… (What Unnamed Breath Shall Bring)“.
